1909/8 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. FS-301. MS-61 (NGC). CAC.Warmly patinated in deep gold, this fully original example also offers billowy mint luster and a boldly executed strike. With several thousand examples located overseas and subsequently repatriated in recent decades, the 1909/8 is relatively obtainable in lower Mint State grades, as here. This is fortunate for collectors since this issue, as the only overdate in the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series, enjoys strong demand in numismatic circles.From the Paisley Acres Collection.
